Having drifted back and forth a few times on the US withdrawals from Syria and Afghanistan, President Trump seemed solid on leaving last week, but facing growing opposition from the Senate now shows signs of backtracking once again.
Previously talking up how the wars in Afghanistan and Syria can’t last forever, Trump is now saying he wants a “smaller number” of troops to stay in Afghanistan, despite the Taliban already making it clear that was a non-starter for the peace deal.

Winter Storm Lucian will continue to bring more snow to the West early this week before turning into a wintry mess by midweek in parts of the Plains, Midwest and interior Northeast.
Lucian is colder than Winter Storm Kai, which means snow is falling at low elevations in the West. It will also bring snow and ice farther to the south across the Midwest when compared to Kai.

It’s not exactly news that the Alternative Media is under assault: skeptical inquiry and dissenting narratives are smeared as “fake news,” and new suspiciously corporate entities (NewsGuard et al.) claim to be “protecting” consumers from “fake news” as cover for their real agenda, which is limiting public exposure to skeptical, dissenting independent analysis.
Social Media and Search corporations are also censoring non-corporate, non-state media, again under the purported guise of stripping out “fake news.” Continue reading “The Alt-Media Has Way More Fun than the Mainstream Media”

Amazon workers are now wearing safety belts to prevent the robots that prowl the tech giant’s cavernous warehouses from killing them.

A giant billboard of a smiling Donald Trump shaking hands with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu loomed over parts of Tel Aviv on Sunday, part of the Israeli leader’s re-election campaign.
Trump is popular in Israel because of his tough policies towards the Palestinians and Iran and his transfer last May of the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which he recognised as Israel’s capital in a break from long-standing US policy.

A California cop gave a Marine veteran a concussion for nothing more than filming a traffic stop.
On January 22, Adrian Burrell was at his home in Vallejo, California, when he saw his cousin outside with his hands in the air. The cousin, Michael Walton, was standing next to his motorcycle with his back to a police officer. “He can’t hear you. He has his helmet on,” Burrell told the officer, according to the account he later gave to KGO. At that point, he says, the cop told him to go back in his house.

Given that it’s Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to highlight this revealing article recently published by the Jewish Telegraph Agency detailing the generous donations Robert Kraft, the Jewish owner of the New England Patriots, has given to the organized Jewish community in America and other Jewish causes in Israel. It’s no wonder the Jews are so powerful and influential in America and around the world when wealthy Jewish individuals such as Robert Kraft fund pro-Jewish organizations to the tune of millions of dollars!

When a baby or child dies after a vaccine, there is nowhere on the coroner’s form or death certificate to check “vaccine reaction.”
So deaths are ruled Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDs), Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome (SUDs) or unknown. These labels are NOT actually causes of death. Continue reading “How Vaccine Deaths Get Covered Up…”

A 27-year-old man from New Delhi, India, wants to take his parents to court for bringing him into this world without first asking for his consent.
Raphael Samuel is an anti-natalist, a person who believes that people should abstain from procreation because giving birth to sentient beings without asking for their consent is morally wrong. Samuel doesn’t have anything against children or life itself, he simply believes that a life form which has not given its consent to live should not be brought into the world and thus to be subject to the hardships of life. Because he considers himself a victim of life without “forced life”, the young Indian plans to take his parents to court.
